Or since hard drives are relatively cheap, just buy a spare drive and 
use something like Symatech Ghost to ghost the final setup to the spare.

Symatech Ghost also allows you to make image DVD's if you don't like the 
spare drive idea.

I recently did this with the 30 gig hard drive in my laptop onto a 60 
gig drive just so I could repartition it and install Ubuntu on the other 
partition.
